Broken Angel	comment	Many fantasy creatures are fantastic. Whether a sphinx, dragon, or steam powered robot beetle; whether practically human, incomprehensible or pure evil, these creatures can elicit a sense of wonder and terror in any observer. Now imagine someone took a sledgehammer to that marvel and left it bleeding and broken on the floor. That is the Broken Angel, a fantastic creature that has been stripped of their fantastic. This can take many forms: the eponymous angel with hurt wings, broken horned unicorns, newly mortal elves (or any other immortal being), magicless wizards, robots whose body is centimeters from going offline, etc. When played for drama, this is usually used to evoke deep sadness. This is a unique, beautiful creature that has been cruelly torn asunder. Not even killed, but left alive to suffer being flawed after having been perfect or at least "the way I was meant to be." As you can imagine, a lot of Fallen Heroes have this as a backstory. When one is killed you can expect the killers (even if they're heroes) to lament destroying something that is one of a kind. If it was the Last of His Kind, this serves a double whammy by signaling the End of an Age: there will be no more like it, ever. If a villain is the one doing the killing or crippling, they haven't just Kicked The Unicorn, they broke off the horn and stabbed it to death with it. May make its home in a Fantastic Nature Reserve. On the positive side, they may be able to heal naturally, get repaired, seek redemption or find the cure to their ailment. However the story presents a way to make the "fantastic" be restorable, actually restoring it will be a quest in and of itself. If the Broken Angel is found by a Good Samaritan, they'll get some help to this end by being hidden and nursed back to health. Of course, there will be danger from those who did the breaking coming, or from locals with Torches and Pitchforks out to finish the job. On the other hand, this can be used as a Karmic Transformation (more like "Karmic Crippling" in a few instances) to punish rebellious members of this species. Whether for good or bad behavior depends. If it was due to evil, you can expect these Fallen Angels to wear their broken wings with defiant Pride. Even more rarely, rather than grieve over the loss after being Brought Down to Normal or De Powered this way, they might like the change. Contrast Freakiness Shame. No real overlap with One-Winged Angel, unless the being still has enough juice to enter a Super Mode which prominently features their one good wing. Not to be confused with but similar to Broken Bird. See also Unicorns Are Sacred.

Broken Angel / int_1aacbbc9	comment	The elves in the Dragon Age universe were once immortal beings of great magical power, before the humans showed up, caused them to lose their immortality, and demolished their civilization, at least according to Dalish legend. The elves ran off and made a new home for themselves, and the humans came and destroyed that one too. Today the elves are either enslaved or forced to remain on the run, their civilization regressed to its most primitive, gradually losing their magic, and have lost all knowledge of their history and language. Dragon Age: Inquisition sheds some more light on the situation. Turns out only the elven nobility had immortality and powerful magic. The lower caste elves were slaves who had no immortality and no more magical potential than other mortals. Modern day elves may actually be descendants of those slaves, meaning they aren't broken at all. All things considered, their situation has arguably improved.

Broken Angel / int_1bdeba5a	comment	X-Men: Angel has had this happen to him various times in various continuities. In the original comics, he has his wings cut off by a villain, leading to a period of depression. Apocalypse convinces him to do a Faceâ€“Heel Turn by promising to "give them back"... by upgrading him into the angel of death with metal wings. And eventually he manages to heal and regrow his wings naturally. In the more traditional terms of this trope, we have the Acanti, a race of Space Whales that have been enslaved by the Brood for generations. At least one arc of Uncanny X-Men in the '80s revolves around saving them.

Broken Angel / int_1f0bc3d3	comment	Hellboy is recognizable for having two neatly sawed off horn stumps on his forehead. Though in a subversion of this trope, he cut them off himself for (at first) the practical reason of helping him fit in with humans. And later on when he learned his longstanding fate as an Apocalypse Maiden and The Antichrist, he now cuts them off as a sign of rejecting said fate. Fate being persistent though, they tend to grow back if he ever gets exposed to infernal energy or starts to doubt or become convinced of ending the world. The movies have at least a few scenes where he sands off the ends, as though it were shaving.

Shmendrick the magician is very happy he managed to do this because his magic worked and he saved her life. Molly, who knows more about unicorns, is horrified: And from the Unicorn herself after she wakes up, The entire rest of the story could be seen as a rather complex analysis of this trope. The unicorn-turned-human eventually comes to believe that being a human is more like being Cursed with Awesome after falling in love with someone — something that unicorns can't experience. Unfortunately, she still has a quest to finish and abandoning it to live as a human isn't really an option. In the animated version, at least, the ending implies she will remain a broken angel even returned to her Unicorn form. Having known love, she has to live out the rest of her immortal life capable of feeling regret (Unicorns being too pure to feel such a human emotion normally).

Beyond this, radiant idols are under an effect that ensures they will never fly again, to the extent that magic like fly and feather fall don't function around them, and even if polymorphed into a form that can fly, a radiant idol can only walk or crawl.

The modern World of Darkness has very little to do with the wonders of the young Creation before the Fall, because in His fury at the rebellious angels, God smashed the world they created under His supervision and its current state is a long-term result of the damage sustained back then. (The game also offers a counter-perspective, that he was acting to save the world at the Fall — but even so, the damage had been done.)

This might be a subversion, though, in that he honestly doesn't care about the fact that he has no wings. He is rather sensitive about it at the beginning of the game, though, and gets upset when Rose and Marietta point it out. From the same series, we also have Nessiah from the Yggdra Union games. Because worse things were done to him than his wings and power being taken away, and he's made similar sacrifices voluntarily, not much attention is paid to his physical disfigurements in comparison. He does still seem to be self-conscious about it, though.

He's hoping to eventually get it fixed and return to Heaven, but as the story goes on he grows worried that it will never heal and he'll be stuck in the mortal realm for the rest of his life, even if he's found it's not as bad as he initially thought it would be (for one thing, normally angels with intact halos are incorporeal and invisible, practically incapable of interacting with the world, and several of Crim's contemporaries are actually jealous of his newly-gained ability to eat food and -- in particular -- have sex as a charter member of the titular brothel-crawlers).

Broken Angel / int_43576f5	comment	Supernatural: In a future timeline, the angel Castiel has lost his angelic powers and operates drugged 24/7 as a cheesy sex guru. He also slowly breaks in the main timeline over Season 5, slowly losing his "angel mojo" to the point where he can't heal people and time travel leaves him seriously ill. He also later reveals that he cannot return to Heaven. He does still have his wings, though, and his ability to fly/teleport. At least until the last couple episodes of the season, at which point he can't fly, can't heal himself, and even needs to sleep. Even though he's been losing his powers, Castiel still held faith in his Father until late in Season 5 when Joshua, the one angel who still talks to God, reveals that God doesn't care about the Apocalypse and has no intentions of stopping it or helping anyone, at which point Cas snaps completely. However, at the end of "Swan Song", Cas's angel mojo is restored, with bonuses, when he is resurrected by God. Castiel still can't catch a break after all of this. In Season 6, he becomes a Well-Intentioned Extremist, loses the trust of his friends and eventually abandons his morals and declares himself the new God. And in Season 7, he goes on a power trip, briefly tries to atone only to get killed from the inside, then returns to life sans memories, regains his memories only to perform a Heroic Sacrifice that results in him going completely insane, and finally gets zapped to Purgatory, where he spends the better part of a year fending off Leviathans. He eventually escapes, sanity and old outfit into the bargain. Now the only problem is Heaven's new management using him as an unwitting spy. Gabriel also has some aspects of this, namely how jaded he is, and how sick of his family fighting he is. He ran away, only to end up tangled up in the mess all over again, partially thanks to the Winchesters. Being killed by Lucifer probably didn't help. As of the Season 8 finale, every angel in the Supernatural universe has been cast from Heaven, apart from the vengeful one who caused it. Flat-out name-dropped at one point, specifically referencing Cas at the time:

Broken Angel / int_443000dd	comment	The Last Unicorn: The titular unicorn becomes this after she in transformed into the human woman, Amalthea, after bumbling amateur magician Schmindreck uses Wild Magic in a desperate attempt to rescue her from the Red Bull (the villain's Pet Monstrosity that hunts and captures unicorns. Although saved from the fate of the rest of the unicorns and still extremely graceful and beautiful for a human, the transformation into any mortal being, let alone a human, is extremely horrific and traumatizing for her, especially at first, and presented as something that has trapped a being of an ethereal nature in the form of a decaying and ill-suited mortal body, with various psychological and spiritual consequences. When she eventually is turned back, she remains a more figurative example; Unicorns are stated to be pure, immortal beings and, by their very nature, untouched by emotions like regret, longing, or grief. But her experience as a human being (who fell in love) has left Amalthea capable of these feelings. And now she will have to feel them forever. Inverted with Mommy Fortuna's menagerie of "mystical beings", which are actually mostly fakes, being pitiful animals that she casts glamours on, so that they appear as legendary beasts to those who want to see as much. The only real fantastic creatures in the caravan are the unicorn and the Harpy, who has mommy Fortuna's number.

In the previous instance of the world, the people of the Northern lands were barbarians who disregarded magic as being for idiots. As gods are shaped by how mortals imagine them, this reduced Odin to a barely lucid Cloudcuckoolander. Now that mortals believe in him again, however, it's thought that he'll recover within a few centuries.

They speculate that maybe someone has revived a dragon that was imprisoned in stone. It turns out that it's actually a basilisk, which is about as intelligent as a dog, while dragons are human-level sentient. Then, in the real twist of the story, Oreg comes back after Ward killed him — it turns out that the body that was killed was not his real one, and he's half dragon, but couldn't shift into that form while he was enslaved and bound to castle Hurog.

And if a Surgebinder touches one of the dead Shards, he can hear the spren screaming, as can anyone else holding the Blade. Oathbringer expands on this with the Deadeyes, the manifestation of the dead spren in Shadesmar. They look mostly like normal spren but have their eyes scratched out, do not interact with others, and will mindlessly wander to the area roughly corresponding with the location of the person the Shardblade is bonded to in the physical realm if left to their own devices. Or if the person in question is themself in Shadesmar, the spren will just follow them around.

As part of their punishment, their wings were torn off or bound in unbreakable restraints, something they usually hide with illusions. Beyond this, radiant idols are under an effect that ensures they will never fly again, to the extent that magic like fly and feather fall don't function around them, and even if polymorphed into a form that can fly, a radiant idol can only walk or crawl. While earlier editions depicted them as a race of fiends on their own, 5th edition retconned the Nightmare to be pegasi that have had their wings ripped off in a vile ritual.

Near the end of the film, Toothless smashes the attachment, showing he prefers having Hiccup as a rider to flying on his own. However, by How to Train Your Dragon 2, Hiccup has apparently modified the fin to allow him to lock it in position so Toothless can continue flying on his own while Hiccup jumps from his back to try out his new wingsuit.

Once, a majestic hippogryph who soared the skies above the Dome of Light, protecting it from invaders and being the pride and joy of both the congregation and her owner. She had the praise of her master, a pride, and a name. But when the Untouched Inquisitor, in his unrelenting zeal, came to see sin within the Dome and subjected it to several vicious purges, she lost all of these, as they were made sacrifices by the Inquisitor, who made her into his broken thrall. The effects of this will be quite clear once you find her, to the point the quote above about imagining if someone "took a sledgehammer to it" seems rather close to the truth. Exaggerated in the penultimate dungeon, the Crypt of Dead Gods. The Nameless God has been usurping the roles of every deity in history, locking them in the Crypt of Dead Gods and exploiting Gods Need Prayer Badly by intercepting and answering their prayers in their place in order to starve them to death. You cannot find most of them, what with them having decayed to very little, but The Three, those Three that are the newest gods (possibly even your gods), have been killed recently enough that their mindless corpses will assault you in their sorry state. Deities reduced to shambling horrors is a long way to fall, in terms of this trope.

Broken Angel / int_9f89a5f0	comment	One PokÃ©mon fits the trope: Necrozma. As shown in PokÃ©mon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, it used to be a deity-like PokÃ©mon called the "Blinding One", willingly sharing its light with all of Ultra Space (light which would come to be known as Z-Power and fuel the Z-Moves still used today). Then the ancient humans of Ultra Megalopolis tried to control it, only to end up crippling it and destroying its ability to generate light — including the light that composed most of its body. Whereas the Blinding One was a brilliant armored dragon made of golden light, now Necrozma is just a pitch black prism creature haphazardly made from its original form's armor, left in a constant state of pain and hunger that can never be sated. While Necrozma can temporarily regain its true form with the player's help, it isn't a permanent solution, and Necrozma will be dependent on Nebby and the player to share their light and ease its pain.

Broken Angel / int_a5e160e0	comment	Lucifer (2016): The titular character has his wings cut off and sports rather nasty scars on his back. He ends up growing them back as the series progresses. In the beginning of the final season we see that a similar fate has befell Michael, Lucifer's twin brother. After being the Big Bad of the previous season, constantly backstabbing and even killing some of his own siblings in order to become the new God, he is now scrubbing hell's floors while sporting the wounds of having his wings cut off. Not that he didn't deserve it.

Raziel's attempt to revive him is a major plot point. Not that that helped any. Later in the series we see what happens to him after Raziel succeeds in reviving him; he's captured, caged, stuck full of tubes, and drained of blood(as an immortal vampire, this doesn't kill him, only weakens him) to the point where he degenerates into a hideous monstrosity that barely has the strength to stand up. Raziel himself was once the greatest of Kain's lieutenants. When he revealed his new magnificent wings, Kain jealously though in reality his motives were far more complicated had Raziel executed. Raziel was revived by the Elder God, but he was left a mere shadow of his former self. His once beautiful wings were reduced to tatters, and he himself was a hideous soul sucking wraith.

Each became great leaders of men before taking their place at the head of the Astartes legions during the Great Crusade... with the exception of Angron of the World Eaters, a former gladiator who had been irreparably damaged by the Butcher's Nails, cybernetic implants that mutilated his brain and enhanced his aggression. Even before he fell to Chaos, Angron was known as the Broken One, a drooling, deranged berserker barely cogent outside of battle, and the subject of scorn even by his own legion.

Broken Angel / int_bcb32dc6	comment	In Shadowrun, adding cybernetics or modified organs to your body reduces your "Essence" by an amount based on how invasive or alien the part is, and losing essence also causes characters with Magical abilities to decrease their Magic by the same amount (or more, if they only lose part of a point). A magician whose Magic drops to zero due to this becomes "burnt out" — they no longer have access to magical abilities, any magic skills they have become strictly academic knowledge, and they can never regain them aside from extremely rare plot devices or getting a bug spirit shoved into their body (which is at least as bad as it sounds and might well destroy them utterly). The same happens to Technomancers whose Resonance drops to zero.

Broken Angel / int_c24091cf	comment	Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon suffers permanent damage to his tail that hinders his flight capability early in the movie. Hiccup builds a tail attachment to help Toothless fly again, but the dragon still needs a rider to help him fly at his best. It should be noted that in the short animation Gift of the Night Fury that continues on from the film, Hiccup builds an automatic tail attachment, allowing Toothless to fly on his own once more. Near the end of the film, Toothless smashes the attachment, showing he prefers having Hiccup as a rider to flying on his own. However, by How to Train Your Dragon 2, Hiccup has apparently modified the fin to allow him to lock it in position so Toothless can continue flying on his own while Hiccup jumps from his back to try out his new wingsuit. In How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World He builds another automatic tail attachment for Toothless when it becomes clear that he is yearning to fly off on his own after meeting a female Lightfury.

Their weapon is cracked (as is their mask), they're missing an arm, and the infection at times spews out of them and puppeteers their body. That they're still a dangerous challenge is more a testament to how powerful they were before. You can fight them in their prime (in the dreamworld) in the Godmaster DLC as the Pure Vessel, and it's a much tougher challenge as the boss has more hit points, a few new tricks, and their attacks do double damage as in the main fight.
